Until the 2nd of October we will test White Glaze with you. It is a smooth, bright and shiny 3D printing material that looks a lot like porcelain from a distance. The model above is Bathsheba's CTRL-ALT-Whelk. The material is tough and strong. There is another blog post here explaining the 3D printing process, Stratasys' FDM Vapor Smoothing that is behind White Glaze. We also have a materials page for White Glaze here that summarizes the relevant materials information.
We've selected this material because a lot of you were asking for smooth 3D prints. We've been looking and testing for months. This is the smoothest material we could find and it looks great. The material will be available until October 2nd.
The detail on this material is less than that of our White, Black & Transparent Detail materials and our White, Strong & Flexible material. Therefore, I would not recommend it for models where details are of critical concern. However, the material has a high dimensional stability. I would use it for designs where the overall shape is of primary importance such as Rob Mack's Elegant Bowl Sixties Series I above. Because it so dimensionally stable it is also very suited for housings and parts. When making a housing or part though I would recommend 'oversized' connectors or holes since the Vapor Smoothing process limits surface detail. You can get an indication of surface detail by looking at BAROBA's Bowie the Bunny below.
From a few feet the material looks very smooth. If you are extremely close you can see some unevenness but it still has a glossy smooth finish.
Material Details
"But the minimum order amount per model has to be $23(16 cubic CM). People often think that we just push a button and then the 3D printers do the rest.
But, a substantial cost component for us is people. People have to
clean your models, take them out of the machines, check them, package
them. Every single model is expensive because each requires individual
handling, checking and tracking. By having a minimum order amount per
model of $23 we can substantially bring down the overall cost of the
material. We understand that designers that make tiny models such as
Woody with his great Minifig customs are negatively impacted by this. But, this is just an experiment for White Glaze and we hope you all appreciate that we are also trying to be innovative in our pricing in order to make Shapeways as affordable as possible."
I hope that the pricing decision is clear. We are not trying to disadvantage any one individual group on Shapeways. Our mission is to bring production capacity, the ability to customize and make to as many people as possible for as many applications as is possible. We will concentrate on making 3D printing as cheap as it can be and then stand back and watch you guys make amazing things.
Since we're testing both the material and the pricing model for you we'd really like to get any feedback you have here.

As if things in New York Jets land aren't screwed up enough.
A never-ending quarterback controversy between Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow. Fat Rex Ryan has a severe foot fetish and should be hospitalized before he chomps some trainer's foot off. Mark Sanchez's downward spiral as a quarterback is never ending. An embarrassing Thanksgiving night 49-19 loss. A record of 4-7. A butt fumble. Sanchez's moles, I mean beauty marks, are growing at a rapid pace.
Yes, things aren't pretty in the Meadowlands right now for the New York Jets. The team is on the verge of a catastrophic collapse. And that collapse may be underway now, as the Jets have now lost one of its most prolific team supporters since 1975. Yes, Fireman Ed is hanging up his lame New York Jets fireman's hat and will no longer be present at Jets games to help lead the team to victory.
I have not received any sort of press release from the Jets organization from my request to learn who will be leading the "J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets" cheer this weekend when the Arizona Cardinals roll into town, but I am sure the organization is on it. I mean, the cheer is really the only thing the Jets organization has going right now. Am I right?
Anyway, it wasn't long after the Jets were completely routed by the Patriots on Thanksgiving evening when Fireman Ed decided to announce his retirement as a fan. In a guest commentary published in Monday's edition of the New York newspaper, Metro, Fireman Ed, A.K.A., Ed Anzalone, said his love for the Jets is undying but he can no longer attend games as Fireman Ed. He will attend games as usual, just not as Fireman Ed.
The reason for Fireman Ed's departure, he wrote, wasn't because of the extremely poor and embarrassing play of the Jets but, rather, the attitude of his fellow Jets fans who have become increasingly hostile and confrontational.
"On Thanksgiving night, I left the Jets game before halftime," Anzalone wrote in Metro. "This was the second time in a row I left before there were four zeroes on the clock. We have had much worse teams than this and I never left before. I pride myself in that, because I am not a quitter.
"I decided to leave Thursday because the confrontations with other Jets fans have become more common, even though most Jets fans are fantastic."
Confrontational? Don't fans of opposing teams confront each other at games, rather than fans of the same team? Are Jets fans now turning against themselves? If what Anzalone says is true, it would seem so.
You see, Fireman Ed usually wears a No. 42 Jets jersey as an homage to the Jets' best kick return man, Bruce Harper. This year, though, Fireman Ed decided to show some solidarity with coach Ryan, and has put on the No. 6 Mark Sanchez jersey. Wearing the No. 6 shows that you are on board with Sanchez as your quarterback.
And like everything else on God's green earth, if there is a confrontation or controversy among like-minded football fans, it stems from Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow is the Genesis of all football controversies. What it sounds like is, Jets fans have confronted Fireman Ed about his support for Sanchez and, frankly, I don't blame them.
Jets fans, as a whole, have made their voice heard loud and clear that they don't like the fact that Sanchez is still behind center. Now sitting with a 4-7 record, they ask, "Why not try Tim Tebow?" Fat Rex and Co. won't hear anything of it and sticks to his young, impotent gun, Mark Sanchez. Jets fans are understandably frustrated and will turn to anyone who may have some pull in the Jets organization in an effort to get Tebow behind center.
Unfortunately for Fireman Ed, fans think for some reason he may have some sort of pull to get Sanchez benched. (If I were a Jets fan at this point, I'd confront Fireman Ed, too.)
"The fact that I chose to wear a Mark Sanchez jersey this year and that fans think I am on the payroll — which is an outright lie — have made these confrontations more frequent," Anzalone wrote. "Whether it's in the stands, the bathroom or the parking lot, these confrontations are happening on a consistent basis."
He goes on to write that although he can hold his own during these confrontations, he doesn't want to lose his temper and make a mistake by punching some dude with a Tebow jersey in the face. He has a responsibility to families and kids who enjoy the game. With that reasoning, Fireman Ed will no longer be standing and screaming in the stands. It will just be Ed Anzalone, a Joe Six-Pack of sorts, enjoying another loss at Metlife Stadium. (I wonder if Ed Anzalone is a Tebow or a Sanchez fan?)
Part of me really wants to believe him. He may very well be tired of fans screaming at him over Sanchez's performance. Another part of me thinks Fireman Ed is smarter than that. Fireman Ed is really using a Jedi mind-trick on fat Rex – a sort of martyrdom – to, in fact, get him to start Tim Tebow. Maybe Fireman Ed really does have the pull to get Tebow to start.
Maybe Fat Rex is at home thinking to himself that if Fireman Ed is dropping out as a fan, we really should start Tebow, instead of Sanchez.
Perhaps this is just a media stunt by Fireman Ed to shift the focus off the Sanchez-Tebow controversy for a week, and onto himself, so the coaches in the Jets' office can grab a breath of fresh air. You know ESPN is going to have about four to five hours of Fireman Ed coverage on Sunday morning ,full of heartwarming piano music, tearful interviews and historic footage of Ed in action. In this column, I've already dropped 986 words on him.
Regardless of what Fireman Ed's real motives are for walking away from the game, it's something that you wouldn't see here in Broncoland from the likes of Rocky the Leprechaun or the late great Barrel Man, God rest his soul.
I know if the Barrel Man were here with us right now, he'd be disappointed in Fireman Ed. The Barrel Man would never have have turned his back on his team, no matter how hairy it got. He would have put in another chew, grabbed his cheer cone and started another round of a "D-Fence" wave at Mile High Stadium. Simple as that.
If there is any wisdom to be taken away from the whole Fireman Ed retirement story, it is this: John Elway is The Man. He had the foresight to send Tebow packing to another city, no matter how much he was loved here in Denver. He knew the baggage that Tebow brings to a team. Shame on you, Denver fans, for second guessing Elway's decision. Just look at the New York Jets and realize: this could have been you.

BLM Petitioned to Evaluate "Gold Medal" Designation and OTR
February 19, 2014: Rags Over the Arkansas River (ROAR) has sent a letter to the Secretary of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Director requesting that BLM conduct a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) of Christo's proposed Over the River project as a consequence of the recent Gold Medal designation for the Arkansas River.
In early January, 2014, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission announced the upper Arkansas River as the newest addition to the statewide list of Gold Medal Trout Waters. The river's 102 miles from its headwaters below Leadville downstream to Parkdale at the Highway 50 bridge crossing now adds half-again the river miles of all Colorado's other Gold Medal waters combined.
This Gold Medal also encompasses the river miles Christo proposes to drill in and cover with his "Over the River" project.
The Gold Medal designation demands rigorous habitat conditions and access requirements that were neither contemplated nor addressed in BLM's Final Environmental Impact Statement. The art project would diminish many of the Gold Medal values of the river, if not be entirely inconsistent with the Gold Medal Designation. BLM is legally obligated to complete a Supplemental EIS to evaluate these possibilities.
If BLM does not stop Christo's destructive Over the River project, the agency will jeopardize the very intent of the Gold Medal designation.
- READ the full story about Gold Medal and the Request to BLM for SEIS:
- Federal Court:
- ROAR's Federal complaint as amended July 18, 2013
- Motion to Supplement
- Dr. Paul Krausman's Document (Supplemental Declaration)
- Colorado State Court:
- Check the archives on our original website to review the issues as well as background information, photos and previous actions concerning the "Over the River" project.
Note: The OTR project continues to be indefinitely delayed with no estimated start date for construction and no display date.
Federal Suit: ROAR vs BLM
ROAR challenged the federal government's decision to issue a land use authorization (the "2920 Permit") to the Over the River Corp. ("OTR Corp.") to construct a massive commercial art project that would cover 5.9 miles of the Arkansas River. The proposed Art Project will be constructed almost entirely within a critically sensitive area designated by the federal government as the Arkansas Canyonlands Area of Critical Environmental Concern ("ACEC"). This designation was granted in acknowledgement of, and to protect and prevent irreparable damage to, the important historic, cultural, scenic, wildlife, and other natural values of this portion of the Arkansas River. In particular, this designation was made, in part, to protect key habitat for Bighorn sheep, the mammalian symbol of the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife ("CDPW") and Colorado's official animal. Read the amended motion as filed July 12, 2013.
State Suit: ROAR vs Colorado Parks
October 23, 2013: ROAR filed a Notice to Appeal with the Colorado Court of Appeals. This notice initiates the process to appeal the decision of the Colorado District Court which recently upheld the decision of the Colorado Board of Parks and Outdoor Recreation ("Board") to approve construction and exhibition of Christo's Over the River (OTR) project within the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA), a Colorado State Park unit. The Board approved the OTR project through a little used "Memorandum of Agreement" (MOA) instead of the normal state special activity permitting process required under the Board's own regulations.
ROAR maintains that established law requires state agencies to follow their own regulations.
Until just prior to the Board's approval of the OTR project, even Christo believed a special activity permit was required, as he applied for one in 1997 and never withdrew his application. The last minute decision to switch to a "Memorandum of Agreement" was made one week prior to the Board's merger with the Colorado Wildlife Commission. The Wildlife Commission had already unanimously voted to oppose the OTR project just one month earlier.
ROAR also contends that the Board, in addition to disregarding the opposition vote of the Wildlife Commissioners, made the last minute switch because the project would not be able to meet the conditions required for a special activity permit. Consequently, the Board, had it followed its own regulations, would have been compelled to deny approval for the project.
In a brief decision that contained little reasoning or consideration of ROAR's factual allegations, the Colorado District Court denied ROAR's lawsuit of July, 2011, which requested that the Court overturn the Board's decision approving the OTR project due to their incorrect use of the Memorandum of Agreement.

Take a look at this Nielsen Ratings data about different types of advertisements and their effectiveness. It's a bit of an eye opener, no? I'd like to see a similar chart from as recent as ten years ago. I'm betting it would look a lot different.
What really catches the eye are the top three consumer influencers:
How can you use this valuable information? Since it turns out that a company's website is more important than ever, this is probably where you first need to concentrate time and attention. Are all of the products available to inspect online? Can the potential customer find all the information they want? Are there answers to all their questions? Can they easily contact you if they need to?
The website is a good place to start, but it doesn't address the top two on the Nielsen list. A good conference call can help. With reaching potential customers in mind, design a conference call they will want to attend, and make it about a topic in the industry that people are interested in. Invite a guest speaker that they want to hear. Provide a way for them to discuss the topic before and after the conference call, ideally on the website.
Email this enticing and free conference call invitation to all of your current and potential customers. Encourage them to invite their friends. If all goes well, word of mouth should provide you with a good turnout.
But even after this teleconference is over, you're not done with it. Take the recording of the conference call and make it available on your website for free download. Then do another email campaign inviting anyone interested to stop by your site and get a free conference call.
Looking at the Nielsen list, how are your advertising efforts ranked? Leave a comment telling us:
1. What types of advertising on the list you are currently doing.
2. How effective have they been?
Video conferences grow in popularity every day. More companies are using them and introducing first timers to the idea of a "video feed" while they make a presentation. The mere idea of this can be frightening. Most of us don't like to be on display, and your standard sales or marketing manager probably isn't used to the idea of being in front of a crowd of people. Public speaking is the number one phobia of the average American and a video conference adds an aspect that one doesn't expect in an everyday conference.
I do a lot of demonstrations of products, so I've gotten used to the idea that I can end up on a video conference at any time. When I first started, it did scare me a bit. There are a million things that go through my mind, things that can go wrong, things I want to say. Don't stutter, Maranda. Don't stumble over the words. I've been doing these for over a year and I still sometimes get pre-game jitters. Here are three things that I do before a video conference that help me get focused.
These are just a few suggestions that I have found work well for me when it comes to getting over the pre-conference nerves.
What do you do to make the prospect of a video conference a little easier for you?
Video Conferencing
Flu season is not on the horizon, it's here! Already we've hit the early wave of cold and flu viruses that herald the sick-season. And if you watch the news even a little bit, we've got swine flu to deal with on top of everything else. So what can you do to avoid getting sick over the next four months? Here's a quick but good list:
Nope, I'm not joking about that last one, especially as it ties in so neatly with the one above it. Using and encouraging the use of conference calls, web conferencing, and video conferencing can reduce the loss of productivity that flu season usually causes. How can teleconferencing do this? Well…
On one hand, there are times when a sick employee at home is feeling better, even though they're still contagious. Well, they don't have to do nothing if they don't want to. They can still attend the meeting, or brainstorm with their team.
And on the other hand, it's obvious that someone needs to stay home when they're feeling sick, but sometimes when someone feels okay, they might go to the office, even thought they could still be contagious. This means that any sales call, meeting, or even water cooler chat can be an unsuspecting ground zero for the flu. That one almost better employee can send five or ten others home with the flu!
But with teleconferencing available, that sick employee can stay home and still be a productive part of the office, and you and all your employees are protected from catching the flu… at least from that one person.
Done reading? Good! Now go wash your hands.
Conference Calls
Last month, I talked about Acronym Rehab and the representation that their repeated use can create. As a speaker, sales person, or presenter the use of these can cause confusion or a less professional appearance. What other communication roadblocks can be created by the use of these in every day conversation? As I've said before, it's one thing to text your son "k" or "btw" about something going on in your personal life, but it's another to send that sort of message to a customer or employer.
When it creeps into face to face conversation out of sheer habit, you may not realize it but it slows everything down, even if it is just for a few seconds. When you speak to someone else, the brain is processing everything that is being said. Much like a computer, when you open an application, your brain has to find the information, open up the file, and execute it. The same general process occurs when you're communicating with someone.
If you're being spoken too and you're getting a lot of ABC's and XYZ's, it's going to slow down the time that it takes for your brain to process the meaning of what the other person is saying. Your brain has to break down and define the acronym, reset it into the sentence, and then process it. When you have a lot of extra information, it clogs your brain. The problem with this? The brain can't process quickly and what someone is trying to say to you is lost and by the time you decode the message, you might not remember what the point of it was the first time.
Cutting out the extra information in conversations will not only save you time, it might save you from having to start at the beginning and go through it again.
What do you think? Does the use of three letter acronyms slow us down or speed it up? Are you ready to admit you have a problem and start to remove them from your face to face conversation?
Business Communications
We are a culture of multi-taskers, a society that proudly admits we can text and walk at the same time, and believe that driving with our knees while shoving a cheeseburger in our face is okay. When it comes to having a conversation with someone, it can be a drag if you are speaking, but they aren't hearing you. I know lots of people who seem to think that being able to repeat back what you said to them means that they were listening, even if they are doing other things at the same time. Your ears are open to what information is being delivered, but are you engaged in the conversation?
If your customer makes a suggestion do you consider it and take it into account? Maybe it's not just the request of one person—maybe it's a change that will benefit all of your clients. It makes me think: Are you listening to your customers?
Sure, we can hear them, but are we taking it all in and giving that customer the time they deserve? If you're on the phone with a client, is that your main focus or are you doing other things, like checking your email or texting your brother back about dinner plans? Yes, multitasking is a great skill and is very beneficial to productive business practices, but there's a point where it starts to take away from what should be your main focus—your customers.
Where do you draw the line between multitasking and "just listening"?
Comment your thoughts here and let's figure out a good place to draw the line.
Normally I'm not a fan of any barrier to communication, but today I'm going to make an exception with this caveat: barriers to clear and open communication are bad, UNLESS it's done on purpose… for the purpose of communicating with a specific target audience.
Look at QR codes. These graphic 2D images can contain contact info, URLs, or even just notes, but they can only be read by people with a decoder on their iPhone or other mobile device. So it seems silly to put only a QR code on a billboard, but this is pretty common, especially in Japan.
Why? Well, first of all, it's ideal for advertising to teenagers, or any other technophile group. Second, it's mysterious, and the only way to satisfy the curiosity is to decode it. Finally, when it's decoded, the information is automatically stored on the mobile device so that even the most unmotivated potential customer is spared writing down your message.
In other words, QR codes break through communications barriers, even as they create them.
Conference calling is another good example of this good type of communication barrier/barrier breaker. They're a barrier because no one can simply pick up a phone to join a teleconference without first obtaining a conference code. And conference calls break through the money, time, and distance barriers to immediate and effective meetings.
Like QR codes, conference calls help reach target markets. Using a teleconference registration page on your website for example, provides you with participants that:
This means that a conference call with these particular participants will be a far more effective use of time and money than say, simply buying some leads and cold-calling.
Putting my money where my mouth is, I'm going to put the QR code pictured above on a t-shirt to wear next time I go out. The embedded message is one that speaks to my personal target audience: smart, tech-savvy, and has a good sense of humor.
(If you have an iPhone and want to read the QR code in this post, download the free "QR app" from the app store. Or, you can simply click here to go to the decoded message. Also, tell us about your QR code experiences. Go here to QR code your comment to us!)
Sometimes, the hardest part of a presentation is getting feedback. So much time and energy is spent preparing for your conferences and presentations. You know your slides backwards and forward, you've done a mock presentation, revised, and practiced again. When it's all over and your conference is just a memory, you now have to sit back and wait to find out what people thought.
Sure, requesting an online survey after the conference is over is a great way to get feedback. There are a few snags to getting feedback this way. Your audience is busy and while they fully intend on giving feedback for your presentation, it might take them time to be able to submit their thoughts. It could be days or even weeks after your conference is over and you want to get feedback while things are still fresh.
Have you given any thought to asking for feedback while the conference is in live? Most web conference applications provide a way for you to ask for feedback through polls and allow asking more than one question. You can update your poll from "How do you feel about…" to "What is a subject you would like to see more about" with a couple of key strokes and you can get feedback instantly. There's no waiting, all the information is still fresh, and the web conference tool will store your poll results as well, so you can go back and look up to see the results later on.
How important is instant feedback when you're having a conference? Do you want to know right away the things that need to be adjusted or corrected, or are you more of the kind of person who prefers to wait until after you're done to get feedback so as not to have any distractions when you present?
Business Communications | Web Conferencing
The FBI agent walks quickly into the state-of-the-art offices that the team shares. She finds the team leader standing near the entrance looking at a report. "Sir, I've just come from the crime scene across town. It looks like the cousin of the deceased has something to do with all this." To which the team leader replies, "Good, head over there to talk to him."
Wow, that's a lot of travel and wasted time for what should have been a short phone call. I've seen this happen on many of my favorite shows, but it seems like with police dramas in general--and the FBI/Mathematician show 'Numbers' specifically--nothing is better than a photogenic group meeting, and cell phones always seem to be a last resort.
The truth is that on TV you've got to put your actors in the same room as much as possible to really get the most bang for the studio's buck—and to get the best ratings. Though in reality, but just as true, we tend to call from the parking lot rather than go back inside and down the hall to ask someone a question; regardless of how cool the shot would look on TV.
I'd imagine that many more serial killers, kidnappers, and terrorists on TV would be caught faster if the police and FBI characters were allowed gratuitous use of teleconferencing.
So my question is how often do we do "something for the camera" rather than in a more efficient way? Some examples of what I mean include postponing a meeting until someone returns from out of town, driving often and far for meetings, and typing long memos for the office (on TV, almost no one uses their mouse because it's not as interesting as a bout of serious typing!).
It's probably good then to ask yourself occasionally if what you're about to do is "for the cameras" or not. Use that cell phone. Start that conference call. Communicate and collaborate now, rather than wait. That is, if the goal is swift, efficient communication, and not an Emmy.
I've seen sparse and limited use of video conferencing on TV—which looks very cool to viewers on any show—but I've never seen a 30 person audio conference. Have you? If you have, leave a comment and tell me what show it was, which season, and even what episode if you remember.

A Good Financial System
Originally published: 09.15.11 by Ruth King
5 activities to keep you on track.
Over the past several months, I've written about the pieces that comprise a profit and loss statement and balance sheet as well as how to ensure that these financial statements are formatted correctly. A good financial system is based on both the monthly financial data and weekly information you gather.
Here are the three monthly activities that you must do based on the financial information you receive. These activities take less than 20 minutes to complete, so there is no excuse not to do them.
1. Financial statements must be accurate and timely. Timely means that you receive them no later than the 15th of the following month. For example, September's balance sheet and profit and loss statements should be on your desk no later than Oct. 15. Any later than this, and it's usually too late to act on any minor issues you see. They are already on their way to becoming major crises.
2. Calculate the 10 critical financial ratios for that month and put them in a spreadsheet. (See the example that accompanies this column). I wrote about how to calculate these ratios in my April and May 2007 columns. Remember that the trends are just as important as the numbers themselves. An increasing current ratio usually means increasing profitability. A decreasing current ratio means decreasing profitability. If your current ratio is decreasing two months in a row, you must determine why you are not profitable and fix the problem!
3. Calculate your monthly and trailing data — sales, gross profit, overhead, and net operating profit. These graphs will tell you the overall direction of the company. (I wrote about how to calculate these graphs in April 2011).
If you find that these ratios or the trailing data are not trending in the right direction, do something to fix the issues before you have cash-flow problems.
Here are two weekly activities that you must do in a good financial system:
1. Weekly cash-flow report. Cash is the lifeblood of your company. Profits are important, but cash is more important. The weekly cash-flow report should be put on your desk by your bookkeeper every Friday. Completing this form takes about 15 minutes. It will tell you whether you have enough cash to pay your bills and payroll the following week. If you have cash in savings, it tells you whether those savings are being depleted or added to.
2. Weekly maintenance-agreement tracking. If cash is the lifeblood of your business, then maintenance agreements are the backbone. They create stable cash flow. You should know how many residential and/or commercial agreements clients you have, the number of agreements up for renewal, and the number that were renewed that week. You want the report to show renewals of at least 80%, and maintenance-agreement customers increasing.
These five activities will help you discover whether your company is moving in a positive, profitable direction.

St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Opens Subspecialties Center
PATERSON, NJ (December 6, 2012) – The St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Pediatric Subspecialties Center at Wayne officially opened on December 4, 2012, as local civic leaders joined St. Joseph's Healthcare System administrators, religious leaders, and physicians at a reception that featured words of welcome; a Blessing; a ribbon cutting; and tours of the new facility.
St. Joseph's Pediatric Subspecialties Center at Wayne offers young patients and their parents an array of clinical specialty expertise provided by Board-certified pediatrician-specialists in their fields of Allergy/Immunology, Child Development, Child and Adolescent Psychology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Infectious Diseases, Nephrology, Neurology and Pulmonology/Sleep Medicine. The center is conveniently located at 1350 Route 23 North – easily accessible from Routes 287, 80 and 46.
"Pediatric subspecialties services are not very common," said Michael Lamacchia, MD, Chairman, Pediatrics, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital (SJCH), a member of St. Joseph's Healthcare System, sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth. "It is our mission at St. Joseph's to be close to our patients," he explained, discussing the importance of providing St. Joseph's high level of pediatric expertise and responsive compassionate care on campus at the Children's Hospital in Paterson and at subspecialties centers in the communities served by the Healthcare System. St. Joseph's Children's Hospital opened the Pediatric Subspecialties Center in Hoboken (2011), another subspecialties center on Century Road in Paramus (May, 2012), and looks forward to the addition of a pediatric ambulatory surgery center in Fair Lawn in 2013.
Fr. Martin Rooney, Director, Mission Services, St. Joseph's Healthcare System, offered the Blessing and reflected on the healing mission of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, the founders and sponsors of St. Joseph's Healthcare System. "This will be a place of comfort and strength...as physicians and staff open their hearts and their minds to these young people in need and that these children will experience healing, comfort, and humor."
Christopher Vergano welcomed St. Joseph's Children's Hospital to Wayne Township saying, "we are certainly very happy you're here at this great location... and providing a great service to our residents."
Assemblyman Scott Rumana added, "It is a comfort to know that a children's specialized program is right here in our backyard."
Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital (SJCH) is a state-designated children's hospital located at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson. A member of St. Joseph's Healthcare System, SJCH offers a broad spectrum of advanced services for patients from birth to 21 years of age and their families. For more information, please visit www.StJosephsHealth.org or call the St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Pediatric Subspecialties Center at Wayne, 973.754.8630.

Bronze amulet with horses' hooves and mounted by a woman, Graeco-Roman, 100 BCE-400 CE
Made from bronze, this amulet shows a woman straddling across a phallus with horses' hooves. Phallic-shaped amulets were popularly worn as symbols of fertility and strength. They were essentially good luck charms. An amulet was, and for many people still is, believed to have magical and spiritual powers, bringing good fortune and good health and protecting against bad luck, which includes disease and sickness.

Fabulous product for fine detail work, saddle slotting and inlay. Super sharp and as advertised, no fuzzy edges.
Have used various other bits for inlaying but none compare with these downcut inlay bits
Smooth and steady, cuts a fine line.
These are really fast and clean cutting. I just love how you can really make some nice precision cuts. Great product.
These bits changed how I make inlays. Absolutely awesome. They're also great for mini pilot holes for truss rod cover screws.
I used the bit in a popular mini mill machine to cut a slot in a newly fabricated bridge for an acoustic. The speed was lower than what your usual router or Dremel tool produces, yet it worked great and produced a clean slot. Tony Maddi
I have a few of these cutters in various sizes and would not be without them, great for those important little jobs. Get a couple though because if it breaks, as they do from time to time, nothing will do the job quite like it!
chegou ... obrigado..estava precisando...
ok...obrigado... chegou.,
The sticker shock of these bits might frighten people off, but they are the highest quality bits I have yet found. Used carefully, they will easily last longer than anything else I've tried, and stay sharp seemingly forever, leaving no fuzzy edges, ever.

May 2014
|Description: In January 2014, President Obama announced the launch of a new task force to prevent sexual violence on college campuses. Citing that 1 in 5 women on college campuses have experienced some form of sexual violence during their academic careers, but only 12 percent of student victims report the assault. The President has called this epidemic "totally unacceptable."
Urging a fundamental shift in attitudes around sexual violence, the President's actions are timely considering the work of Futures Without Violence Campus Fellows across the country. Launched in the fall of 2013, the Campus Leadership Program aimed to spur creative, student-led action to change university policy, enhance curriculum, raise awareness and shift campus culture.
In this interactive webinar, we will share what our Campus Fellows have accomplished this year within their diverse academic fields. Additionally, we will open the forum to students with experience or interest in this work, and brainstorm programmatic, policy-oriented, curricular, institutional, legal, and subversive tactics to improve prevention and intervention programs on your college campus.

Critter Cameo Coin Purse
We're sorry. This product is no longer available.
- By Pilcro
- Zip top
- Suede, cotton; cotton lining
- Imported
- Style #: 26114322
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KtKoala Goldilocks moment I don't like big wallets, and this was just right for me. I like to keep my cards and money loose, and this was the perfect size. The suede is really a nice quality, and the fox is very cute. I found the colors to be better in real life: the red is more of a merlot and the green a somewhat deeper olive. I love Pilcro! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 b/c I'm not sure how it will hold up over time, and it was a little pricey. But I needed it, so I bought it at full price and I am quite happy that I did. January 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by deblkerr Horse coin purse not as expected I ordered the horse coin purse, which in photos looks lovely with a beautiful orange and tan contrast. In person, the colors are much more dull. The brass of the chain is also a lot more chunky and noticeable. All in all, I think that the quality of the materials (suede especially) are good but the look wasn't as I expected. December 21, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by vintageb As expected, quality concern Received in mail today, I'd seen this previously in stores when it was $38, but for the sale price I think this was a good deal. Minor quality and construction mishaps, concerned how long it will hold up, but as stated before; for the sale price, it will do :) March 8, 2013

I know how to make a new branch that tracks remote branches. But how do I make an existing branch track a remote branch. I know I can just edit the
.git/config file, but it seems there should be an easier way.
It looks like this can't currently be done in a convenient way with the current (1.6.1.x) version of Git.
Git version >= 1.7.0 supports this. See the accepted answer.

Policy Number: 25
Performance Management and Appraisal
Performance management is an on-going process consisting of managers' regular feedback to employees and an annual performance appraisal. The goals of performance management and appraisals are to assist employees in aligning individual goals with institutional goals, guide employees to focus behavior on key actions that will affect institutional outcomes, provide continual communication and support, and foster a discussion of development opportunities.
All non-probationary employees of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston ("university"), regardless of classification and appointment time, must receive annual performance appraisals. Persons employed in positions that require student status as a condition of employment do not receive performance reviews; these job positions include Graduate Research Assistants, Graduate Assistants, Student Assistants and Tutors.
The annual performance appraisal will be used for the improvement of performance, promotion consideration and merit salary review. This appraisal will further provide an opportunity for employees to work with their supervisors to receive guidance regarding performance planning, coaching, reviewing and rewarding (where appropriate).
All personnel will be appraised using approved performance appraisal forms and processes. Modifications to the approved tools for classified and management administrative and professional employees must be approved by Human Resources to ensure consistency and compliance. The approved evaluation tools available are located within the Human Resources Web site. The original appraisal result is to be maintained within the department file while a copy should be provided to the employee.
Faculty are reviewed according to a specific method and schedule described in HOOP Policy 111 Faculty Review.
All performance appraisals must be job related and completed without regard for race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or veteran status. Performance appraisals must be objective-based with measurable objectives and goals. Objectives requiring compliance with university policies, procedures and work rules must be included in all appraisal tools. All appraisals must comply with equal opportunity criteria. Questions regarding the appropriateness of classified and management administrative & professional appraisals should be referred to Human Resources - Employee Relations. Questions regarding faculty and academic administrative and professional appraisals should be referred to the Office of Academic and Research Affairs.
Documentation justifying each overall performance rating should be completed and supported within the performance appraisal or employee's file. Requests for salary increases should be consistent with the most recent performance evaluation.
For information on performance planning, coaching, reviewing, and rewarding, refer to the Human Resources Web site, which provides information on training classes for all areas of the review process.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I used this card to announce our marriage and invite people to a local reception after a destination wedding. We used a photo from the wedding and changed "are engaged" to "are married." The paper weight was good. Photo quality was excellent for a non-glossy finish. Colors came through well. I loved that all i had to do was stuff the envelope and add a stamp. I used the WPD online RSVP service, which was not as advanced as some others I have used. If you have wedding website option, I'd go with that."
"With the pearlized finish and rounded corners, these invitations look twice the quality of the cost. Beautiful bright colors, excellent quality cardstock. Especially fun for a summer party. Excellent customer service experience."
"I decided just to order engagement party invites because it wasn't a big deal if they got screwed up. I stayed with all the basics, nothing special. I was expecting something cheap looking that I wasn't going to like. including the paper! when I received to I was amazed at how great the paper quality was on the basic! its so beautiful and highly recommended! and if this isn't the card for you, you're sure to find another on this site!"
"Invitations came quicker than expected. Design is simple yet sophisticated. I really liked that I could change colors and fonts. I love that the design team sends a proof with recommendations! Very high quality paper."
"I loved these invitations! I wanted something with flowers, and poppies happen to be my favorite! I really appreciated that it was available in other colors, I got the tea rose ones. They look perfect!"

I worked at Konami as a contractor for more than a year
Pros – This was my second experience in the gaming industry that basically cemented me wanting to continue on into the industry. I loved the people that I got to work with and am still connected with some of them today. Some of the people that I worked with were promoted through the company and got to become Producers and Product Managers.
Cons – The fun corporate culture that I've since experienced at other companies seemed almost non existent at Konami. Very little development work is done at this office so there's not much control over the products.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

A yummy family favourite from the Oprah show. I always add thyme and extra seasoning. Without that I find this bland. Change the veg, change the top, whatever you like. This recipe is very forgiving, I have never made it the same twice.

Grandma a similiar bread when she made all of her other bread. It was delicious hot of the oven with butter and honey on it. I have made it my own recipe by changing some of the ingredients to healthier ingredents. She used half white and half wheat flour. Mine is 100% Wheat and I prefer to grind my own wheat flour but you can just use whole wheat flour.
